JAY B also shared his honest thoughts about GOT7’s full-group activities and the team’s future. This coming November, he is set to perform at a festival in Thailand alongside members Mark and BamBam. “It wasn’t something we planned separately; the three of us naturally ended up coming together. There are other members who would like to join us, too, but everyone is busy with their individual activities.” As GOT7’s leader, JAY B has been at the forefront in planning and organizing the group’s full-member album projects. “For albums we worked on with Warner Music before, I planned them myself, met with people, and made it happen. Now everyone is so busy that I have practical concerns, like wondering, ‘Will I still be able to take the lead going forward?’ I can bring it up with the members, but I’m also worried about whether it would realistically be possible.” Nevertheless, he left the possibility open regarding GOT7’s next step, saying, “We’re still talking about it regularly. I think we should gradually start preparing now.” Despite his busy individual schedule and the practical limitations, JAY B had a clear reason for wanting to firmly protect GOT7, his “roots.” “I can’t speak for the other guys, but I think I want to hold on to it because it’s where I started. Rather than making a grand statement about ‘remembering our original intentions,’ in a way, it might just be lingering attachment. It would be such a waste to let go of this team completely after all the time we’ve spent together. And I still have high hopes that we’ll be able to do many more things as GOT7 in the future.” 🔗 naver.me/xTydsZ4G #JAYB #제이비 @defjaybkr #GOT7

🌙 hyung, you know right? 🌴 yes…thank you for the many teachings

“dj taerae, i think you've fallen for jaebeom hyung today” 🐥 honestly, even as a man, i think he's handsome 🌴 no, not at all 🐥 this slicked-back hairstyle is really hard to pull off, but i want to be able to pull off this hairstyle, too. you look so cool 🌴 oh, thank you #JAYB #제이비 @defjaybkr #GOT7

🐥 please tell us more about the details you put into this single. you said that starting with your previous album, you've been gradually letting go of some of your stubbornness. but was there anything in this single that jaebeom absolutely had to do and couldn't give up on? 🌴 for this single, first of all, i absolutely had to dance 🐥 you're a dance singer 🌴 yes. i mean, i've always danced, but this time i wanted choreography with sharper angles, where the lines of the movements would stand out more. i really emphasized that we had to do that kind of choreography. there are some moves that are still left in, but there were even more of them originally, and i cut those parts. i tried to keep everything concise, so i paid a lot of attention to that #JAYB #제이비 @defjaybkr #GOT7

“daldi youngjae just promoted honeydew on his insta story” (taerae almost said “insta” but caught himself and changed it to 인별) 🌴 ins별 🐥 oh, he even promoted it 🌴 ah, yes, yes, yes. i guess he got off work 🐥 ah, right, around the time that story was posted 🌴 exactly, yes. i can't check it right now, so i’ll take a look later #JAYB #제이비 @defjaybkr #GOT7

🐥 we just listened to it (honeydew), and it has that kind of feel. it reminds me of the old days 🌴 huh? the old days? 🐥 it reminds me of the voice of sunbaenim i used to listen to back then 🌴 ah, ah, yes, yes, yes 🐥 and since we’re vocalists, we were just talking about vocals a moment ago. your speaking voice and singing voice are completely different, so i wanted to ask you about that 🌴 actually, i do have some reservations about that. when people learn to sing, they often say that it's best to sing in a tone that sounds like you're speaking, right? 🐥 yes, that's right 🌴 so even now, i still think a lot about what it actually means to sing in your speaking voice 🐥 but you already have such an appealing voice 🌴 thank you 🐥 i think it's really cool. i want to sing like that, too. i want to sing with that damping quality (full, solid sound) 🌴 i think you could definitely sing like that 🐥 but i use quite a lot of breath in my voice. it’s like that even when i speak, and because so much breath comes through, it's tiring these days 🌴 when you dance too 🐥 yes #JAYB #제이비 @defjaybkr #GOT7

honeydew 🕺

🐥 when you listen to the song, there's a whistling sound in it. did you record that yourself? 🌴 😗 no, i can't whistle 🐥 i didn't expect you to demonstrate it 🌴 i can't whistle. 🐥 oh, really? 🌴 even when i try, i can't produce the note. 😗 i can only do it up to about this point 🐥 but there's a sound coming out 🌴 yes, yes, yes #JAYB #제이비 @defjaybkr #GOT7

jaebeom and taerae~ #JAYB #제이비 @defjaybkr #GOT7

🐥 out of all the fruits, why did it have to be honeydew? 🌴 the syllables fit. you couldn't call it watermelon. you couldn’t say “water, watermelon~” 🐥 although i haven't been doing this for long, among the guests who have appeared, you're the most, the most manly 🌴 what? 🐥 you're the most easygoing 🌴 i’m just pretending to be like that 🐥 for the sake of looking cool? 🌴 but really, actually, earlier, i was thinking there are other three-syllable words, like orange, but this word fit the pronunciation best 🐥 honeydew. it really rolls off the tongue nicely #JAYB #제이비 @defjaybkr #GOT7
